The Emmys Just Gave Carrie Fisher One of Her Last Award Nominations

As the months pass following Carrie Fisher’s death, fans have had to contend with the heartbreak of knowing that most of her work is now behind her; there are very few projects yet to come in which Fisher will appear. But one thing fans can hold on to is that the actress continues to be recognized for her extraordinary ability in front of the camera. On Thursday, for instance, the TV Academy celebrated Fisher with an Emmy nomination for her work as Mia on Catastrophe Season 3.

Outside of Star Wars, which will always be her most enduring and iconic role, many of Fisher’s best performances were in comedies. Catastrophe has long been an excellent display of Fisher’s quick wit and gift for humor, as were her roles in films like When Harry Met Sally, The Blues Brothers, and even guest roles in series like Sex and the City.

Some of Fisher’s work still has yet to debut—including, of course, her final Star Wars turn in Episode VIII. But sadly, Season 3 was her last entry on Catastrophe; she had just finished filming before her death in December. It seems the TV Academy understands that this will likely be its last chance to honor her—or, perhaps even better, that the voting body simply recognizes how entertaining she was on the show. This marks Fisher’s third nomination for an Emmy; her last nod came in 2011, when Wishful Drinking entered the running for Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Special.
